(EIA, 25.Sep.2015) – The amount of unproved technically recoverable shale natural gas around the world has reached 7,576 Tcf, higher than previously estimated, according to a survey by the U.S.-based Energy Information Administration (EIA).
New names were added to the list of countries with shale reserves. The U.S. holds 622.5 Tcf of recoverable shale gas that is sufficient in meeting domestic demand for about 27 years, lower than the previously projected 37 years, the survey found.
